Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix rotisserie chicken with sour cream, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Spread 1/2 cup enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 10-inch cast iron skillet.

  3. Step 3

    Layer 4 tortillas, breaking to fit. Top with half the chicken mixture, half the black beans, half the cheese, and half the jalapeño slices.

  4. Step 4

    Pour 1 cup sauce over the layer. Add remaining 4 tortillas, chicken, beans, jalapeños, and remaining sauce.

    Top with remaining cheese. Bake until cheese is golden and edges bubble, 12–14 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from oven, scatter cilantro on top, and serve straight from the skillet.
